The Translation of The Voynich Manuscript: Folio 1r

[Koen G]

I like the identification of f1v's plant as an olive tree, except I've seen such a suggestion made years ago by Darren Worley.

It's always a bit suspicious when the reference list shows zero interest in previous Voynich research.

With both papers I'm still not quite sure if I understand how her system works. Some of here ideas don't look too crazy in isolation but it's a long step from those to her translating a whole page and somehow identifying an author. Also, gestalt perception is not the kind of term I would ever use in a context like this.
